How is it that Muppet Wiki, IMDB and Wikipedia don't know about this?

He seemed like a nice guy. Also regarding why he left Sesame Street, in a post he said this: "Great fun doing 'Gordon' but I had to move on" and "I got out of my 14 page contract after the second season and went to LA to co star for Columbia Pictures in the cop show 'Joe Forrester' and the...

Apparently he passed away five years ago. I had no idea. I just happened to stumble on this info via his Facebook page (as Harold Miller). Or am I the last to know this?

I have noticed the "lost list" seems to have (happily) gotten smaller. Hopefully that continues! I am bummed that so much is missing from the early seasons, but I am thrilled with what has surfaced. My dive down this rabbit hole started with Noggin, and who would have thought we'd ever see these...

I appreciated the explanation of that upthread, but that doesn't seem to work for me any more either, so you're not alone.

Thanks -- so the same show would be on Monday at 9 a.m., repeating Tuesday at 4 p.m., then Wednesday at 7 a.m.? So when they talk about certain episodes that were "only shown once," that could mean as many as eight times -- three times the first week and again on the weekend, then again the...

I watched Sesame Street in its early years in Chicago on WTTW-Channel 11. The schedule varied over the years, but I remember the show often being on multiple times a day -- early in the morning like around 7:00 a.m., then again around 9:30 or 10, then again around 3:00 or 3:30 -- though like I...

At least this is from the early VCR era, so there's a possibility (however slight) that someone might have taped it at home.

That can't be right. Although I noticed over the years, not every current cast member appeared in every episode of each season. But 156 episodes over 13 seasons? That can't be right. Actually, it's possible to verify this by going through the episode guide at Muppet Wiki. But I personally don't...

It's working fine for me. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Sesame_Street_Episodes

Wait, what? I was just on there...

Hey, that's me on this forum years ago.

Also, this reminds me that years ago, I read on the internet that Hal Miller played a character on a Nickelodeon show at some point. Captain Countdown I think was his name. I saved a photo but that was two computers ago. I have otherwise never heard of the show, don't know what year(s) it was...

Speaking of which... Through much of the show's history, they only showed credits at the end of the show on Fridays, I guess for the entire week. (Speculation alert) Wouldn't the Friday episode have had credits? This gets me wondering if the rest of that week's shows exist. As far as I know...

That's awesome and bizarre at the same time. I have found very little in the way of photos of Matt Robinson after he left Sesame Street. How odd that he quit Sesame Street because he didn't like being a performer, then some 15 years later he ends up performing again, in a children's show with...

Thanks for the info! I think that online Roscoe Orman chapter is where I saw Miller described as "enigmatic." Yes, I meant the book, but the documentary is great too. The book where Miller is quoted is called "Jim Henson" by Leslie Gourse. I don't have it, but I found a "preview" on Google...

It's just so weird, they replaced Gordon and then just two years later replaced him again. I guess that supports the idea that it was so difficult to find the right man for the role when the show was first starting. Evidently Harold "Hal" Miller liked doing the show. He was interviewed at...

I don't remember the "isolationist" remark, I'd like to see that one. I'd like to see as much from the early years (say about the first 5 or 6 years) as I can and I am so happy that so much of it has resurfaced over the years. Just the other day I saw show #900 via You Tube -- I'd never seen it...

The early seasons are "my" Sesame Street, especially the first three seasons with the "real" Gordon. I wouldn't change a thing, except for the constant repetition of segments. Having watched the Unpaved and 123 series on Noggin, they continued to do a great show for at least the first 20...
